  1. Hey man! Just checking in on this and pleading for the measurements if you get chance! haha
  2. Nice collection! Loved the look of their lined jackets this release. I only picked up the chinos and the blue v neck sweat however.
  3. Very likely not including myself here but nonetheless I'll take pleasure in rifling through the many cuts on offer on Tender Stores. Any shouts on where the best / most accurate size charts are?
  4. Thanks that's interesting! It's fully cooled down here now kinda missing the warmth already. I'm actually keen on the rise, that's why I'm interested haha - I'll keep an eye out for those measurements thank you!
  5. How are these doing @volvo240thebest? They looked awesome here. I'm considering a pair at the moment - what has the rise and thigh ended up like on a 34 after some wash and wear??
  6. I've always wanted to make a trip to that spot! Imagine it being rather museum-like.
  7. Oh nice that would be great!
  8. I also like both, but for utility's sake, I'd say the slash pockets win. Being able to stash your hands away on a chilly day would work a lot better in that version.
  9. The end of the comp had me looking at Simo's website again and seeing some of the newer models, his WWII pair looks really good! https://www.wordofmouthjeans.com/product-page/wwiizz Nice high rise and a decent thigh - although I love a (not too wonky) WWII pair, I find the rise to be a bit low and the thigh to be a bit slim with most (this is probably accurate to the time I suppose!). Looks to be plenty of room in these! Do we have any members with a pair of these to share their experience on?
  10. Has anyone put any wear in on the 30th anniversary S1003XX?? Only seen brand new pairs so far
  11. Me too! Great work @Broark thank you!
  12. At Last co lot 147 almost fits this bill. But, I will also say, many a person has appeared on the forum asking this very same question, and I'm not aware of any proper solution. It's finding the balance that's "good enough" for you.
  13. I really do find this to be the case with most kb movements, than say a barbell - for overall capability and strength, it brings into play so many more muscles in a more true-to-life usage. The requisite strength in the forearm and wrist for example just to press a kettlebell up from the shoulder. I do still have an interest in more classic barbell usage, but for my commitments and lifestage right now, kettlebells at home is the one!
  14. Similarly to ATWM, I commute by bicycle (recently crashed so that's on pause for a little bit while I rehab) but also run a bit and do slightly more cardio-involved kettlebell stuff now rather than barbell/gym based work, so I generally stay at the same waist size, regardless of energy input. This is a huge blessing and I am hoping it continues long term - the thing that does fluctuate a bit is thigh width - during more intensive periods of exercise jeans (e.g. Warehouse pairs) would get uncomfortable in the thigh - hence my move to exclusively Timeworn jeans now - the waist to thigh ratio is perfect for me and there's room to grow. I'm all for people using something they love (like a good pair of jeans) as positive encouragement to remain healthy in the long run, it's great!
  15. Perfect, thank you, missed that! 🙃
  16. What are the steps now? When you say voting do you mean members get a vote too or is it just to the panel?
  17. Some real hidden gems coming out in the First & Last photos thread! 🤩
  18. Yeah the collar, colour and general steez of the popover is perfect, great stuff!!
  19. Totally, going from liking a cuff to liking no cuff is the easiest change to handle I suppose! Given you've got the additional inseam to cut off if you need! These look great though - if the length is bang on for you at the factory wash stage, I would wash them cold and no/low spin if I were you. I've a few pairs I'm doing this with now.
  20. Dude they look really good without the cuff!!!
  21. I'll be in if the jeans are high and wide enough!!! 😊
  22. They're looking great mate good choice!! ..and enjoy the parental leave!
  23. @Broark - I believe that you own both the Flying B and the canvas deck shoes right? Are they on the same last? Do they fit the same? (low and hi top differences aside, I guess)
